Hello. Since I've been out of the JW religion, I've had no desire to attend any churches. Although I've always liked the way many churches look with the (stained glass, etc). Growing up our KH was so ugly and boring to look at. Someone picked drabby gray carpet through out and nothing was hanging from the walls, not even ugly fake plants. My sister and neice decided to attend a non-demoninational church held in a hall. Although they are regular, I was never interested. After much insistance I went with them on two occasions. Once they had a comic minister visiting, kind of weird although he was pretty hilarious. But they do a lot of singing like rock/christian music, everyone stands up and follows along on these large screens. To me, that's always been weird and not for me.
But lately, for some reason I've been meeting with the local priest. I'm not a Catholic but for some reason I was drawn to this particular church. I've always had such issues with that religion (Dark ages, priests bad behavior with little boys...) I'm not looking to get all wrapped up into another religion, not every religion is perfect but it's the closeness to god I suppose I'm looking for. I still believe that you don't have to go to church to be close to god, look at the trees, flowers, sunsets and sunrises and all the animals and pets that we have to be close to god.
Anyone else understand?
